This study aims to identify the relationship between echocardiographic findings and the severity of mitral regurgitation in small-breed dogs.
Echocardiography performed using brightness, motion, and Doppler modalities.
Dogs categorized by cardiomegaly status and severity of mitral regurgitation based on echocardiographic measurements.
Comparison of echocardiographic variables between clinical signs and groups.
Significant differences in LAmax, LA:Ao, LVIDd, among groups of varying mitral regurgitation severity.
Moderate correlation found between LA:Ao and several echocardiographic variables.
Notable differences in echocardiographic results between clinical and preclinical groups.
